Tet, or Vietnamese New Year, is the most important celebration in Vietnamese culture. Tet celebrates the arrival of spring based on the Chinese calendar, which usually has the date falling in January or February. Tet is generally celebrated on the same day as Chinese New Year. It takes place from the first day of the first month of the Vietnamese calendar (around late January or early February) until at least the third day. Many Vietnamese prepare for Tet by cooking special holiday food and cleaning the house. These foods include chung cake, day cake, dried young bamboo soup, and sticky rice. Many customs are practiced during Tet, such as visiting a person’s house on the first day of the new year, ancestor worship, wishing New Year’s greetings, giving lucky money to children and elderly people, and opening a shop. Tet is also an occasion for pilgrims and family reunions. They start forgetting about the troubles of the past year and hope for a better upcoming year.

According to Slate, , the Spanish village of Castrillo de Murcia hosts a yearly festival in which parents baptize their new-borns by having men dress up like the devil and jump over them. Known as El Colacho, the festival reportedly takes place 60 days after Easter each year, during the village’s Corpus Christi feast. “During the holiday, parents with children born during the previous year bring the little tykes out and place them in neat rows of pillows spaced out down a public street.” the report says. Then, while the excited parents look on, men dressed in bright yellow costumes and grotesque masks begin filing through the crowd, whipping bystanders with switches and generally terrorizing everyone.” Sounds freaky, right? Slate says the devils proceed to jump over the rows of babies "like Olympic hurdlers” in order to absolve them of "man’s original transgression.” Once that freaky part is over, the babies get rose petals; sprinkled onto them and are released to their parents. The tradition dates back to the 17th century, says the article, adding that no injuries have ever been reported. Spain saves all of their completely avoidable annual injuries for the Running of the Bulls, obviously.
